At the basement of the mansion covered in golden otherworld ores.
As if it were prepared in advance, the magic circle was shining finely.
“We’re just in time.”
“Looks like everyone’s here.”
“It feels refreshing today because Ok Toyeon’s not in front of me unlike then.”
“That damned rabbit won’te. It can’t be more chaotic because Ahn Dain’s stay in the house wouldplicate things.”
Ok Toyeon was here thest time the 12-point alliance talks were held.
The topic at that time was about the traitor so Ok Toyeon was physically present, but it seems like the process will be different this time.
‘As Hwang Jiho said, too many people in the house wouldplicate things. That’s why I didn’t want toe if possible.’
Still, I couldn’t afford to be absent.
It’s be difficult to rely on my existing knowledge because a lot of development has deviated from PMH’s storyline.
What I need now is new information.
There are still heads that I haven’t met in person so I wanted to be present in the meeting.
“Let’s get started. Step back from the magic circle.”
Ddak! Fwaaa…!
Hwang Jiho snapped and the circle began to move.
The force and pattern flowed and the circle was transformed into partitions of twelve.
Above each area were characters indicating the twelve ns.
Hwang Jiho, who stood in the area of the “Tiger,” had his hair dyed gold.
“The meeting will begin.”
Fwaaaa!
An eye-popping golden hue covered our vision.
As the light faded, shadows rose in ten of the twelve areas.
Except for Hwang Jiho and the ten shadows, one spot was empty.
Words began to appear soon enough.
Rat n [This Kkeodori received the Best Designer of the Year Award]
Tiger n [Tiger-nim]
Rabbit n [DMR]
Dragon n [Respected By Nephew, Full-Level Cheongryong]
Snake n [Finished Shedding LOL]
Horse n [More-Sensitive-Than-Usual Heukma]
Sheep n [No Nightmare]
Monkey n [Strongest in the Universe, Jecheondaesung]
Rooster n [Chicken That Will Fly From Mt. Gyeryong]
Dog n [My Dog Fur is Expensive]
Pig n [Serves Northern Europe’s Most Handsome – The Golden Wild Boar]
The names were all over the ce, but some were unchanged from the previous meeting.
I expected this, but I fell speechless when I actually saw it.
Only Hwang Jiho and Jecheondaesung’s names were unchanged, but those two actually looked most normal.
Looking at the names with disdain, Hwang Jiho spoke.
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “We have confirmed the attendance of all leaders of the alliance except for the Sheep n. This meeting is called to order.”
Rat n [This Kkeodori received the Best Designer of the Year Award] “Why aren’t you answering me, Hwangho? Can you stop leaving me on read?”
Seodol replied at a horrifying speed after Hwang Jiho’s first sentence.
Hwang Jiho didn’t reply to Seodolst I saw their conversation, and it seems like he didn’t respond until the end.
Hwang Jiho ignored Seodol, and instead, the other heads reacted.
Horse n [More-Sensitive-Than-Usual Heukma] “Can you stop using formalnguage?”
Snake n [Finished Shedding LOL] “Yeah, it’s giving an ominous feeling from the start. Annoying.”
Dog n [My Dog Fur is Expensive] “Kkeodori’s nickname is annoying.”
Rooster n [Chicken That Will Fly From Mt. Gyeryong] “You’re in no position to say that.”
True.
Seodol’s nickname iscking, but there were more than one or two nicknames that seemed to be formidable.
Seodol didn’t seem to care much about the other leaders’ words though.
Rat n [This Kkeodori received the Best Designer of the Year Award] “It’s a choice to appeal to my ambassador candidate! I’m a wise mouse who can proudly show off my prize.”
Ah…
Is he still thinking about making me an ambassador?
He seems to have expected me to appear here with Hwang Jiho.
I wonder if he’llmely ask me again.
I deeply understood Hong Gyubin and Kwon Jein who must’ve had enough of this rat.
Rat n [This Kkeodori received the Best Designer of the Year Award] “You see my nickname, right? I’m a famous andpetent designer.”
Rabbit n [DMR] “Who asked? So what hahaha… Wait, why is my name like this!”
(T/N: DMR = Damned Moon Rabbit)
Ok Toyeon screamed as she had just seen her conversation name.
I was wondering about it too, and it seems like she wasn’t the one who set it.
Seeing Hwang Jiho smile with satisfaction, he seems to be the culprit.
Maybe Ok Toyeon didn’t reveal the rtionship between the watchman and the descendants easily for Hwang Jiho to do this.
It was very childish considering that he’s supposed to be a reputable head of the 12-point alliance.
Rabbit n [DMR] “I wrote a cute conversation name though. What’s wrong with you ??”
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “You’re only finding out now? What a silly rabbit.”
Rabbit n [DMR] “Hwangho, did you do this? What the!”
Pig n [Serves Northern Europe’s Most Handsome – The Golden Wild Boar] “Wow… he intervened beyond the magic. How incredible! It’s not a usual power.”
Ok Toyeon demanded to return it, but Hwang Jiho didn’t even pretend to listen.
Meanwhile, the other heads were guessing what “DMR” meant.
Rooster n [Chicken That Will Fly From Mt. Gyeryong] “Sashimi, Chicken, Jaw, Honey.”
Sheep n [No Nightmare] “Dog Model Room.”
Monkey n [Strongest in the Universe, Jecheondaesung] “Match.”
Dog n [My Dog Fur is Expensive] “I throw up everything”
Snake n [Finished Shedding LOL] “Damned Moon Rabbit”
Rabbit n [DMR] “Ughhhhh”
The meeting started like a grain of sand.
Perhaps the leaders already knew it but feigned ignorance on purpose.
Rabbit n [DMR] “Everyone got more stupid in a year!”
Rooster n [Chicken That Will Fly From Mt. Gyeryong] “Right back at you, DMR.”
Rabbit n [DMR] “We’re not even in the same ce this time, why am I caught up like this!”
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “There’s no way you can stop yours truly’s interference with the magic circle. Besides, did you forget who restored the circle in your territory?”
It was quite a long time ago that Hwang Jiho went to help the Rabbit n.
I guess he’s been trying to y this childish prank since then.
Ok Toyeon grumbled and sighed after the moment of realization.
Rabbit n [DMR] “Gah, you always choose the worst nicknames! You didn’t even put spaces!”
Rat n [This Kkeodori received the Best Designer of the Year Award] “That’s true. Hwangho has been treating me badly in the past, but he’s lost his sincerity these days. I wonder where he learned that.
The tigers looked at me when Seodol talked about Hwang Jiho.
Are they saying that Hwang Jiho got it from me?
Horse n [More-Sensitive-Than-Usual Heukma] “Sincerity huh… Yeah, he used the same name as thest meeting. Like the other one.”
Monkey n [Strongest in the Universe, Jecheondaesung] “Because I’m still the strongest in the universe!”
Jecheondaesung refuted, obviously liking his nickname.
The lowly conversation was ended by an unexpected leader.
Dragon n [Respected By Nephew, Full-Level Cheongryong] “Enough with the small talk. It’s a waste of time.”
Cheongryong, who had been reticent, spoke.
But his nickname…
Well, since he’s made a brotherly rtionship with Yeom Bangyeol, he must consider Yeom Junyeol his nephew.
Dragon n [Respected By Nephew, Full-Level Cheongryong] “I’m very worried about my nephew’s vacation. Stop wasting time on nonsense.”
It turns out that it wasn’t really a serious matter.
Did Cheongrong make ns with Yeom Junyeol this vacation?
Cheongryong is busy with the issue with the Dragon King’s shaman so his schedule should be quite tight.
That means he has less time to spend with Yeom Junyeol.
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “This body is busy too.”
Rabbit n [DMR] “It must be nice having alter egos that could y even while you’re on a meeting, Hwangho!”
Monkey n [Strongest in the Universe, Jecheondaesung] “When ites to alter egos, I’m the strongest.”
Horse n [More-Sensitive-Than-Usual Heukma] “Send one of your powerful alter egos to clean you every day.”
Monkey n [Strongest in the Universe, Jecheondaesung] “I don’t know if you’replimenting me or picking a fight. If it’s a fight, I’ll take you on.”
Dog n [My Dog Fur is Expensive] “Fight! Fight!”
Hwang Jiho scolded that chaotic meeting ce.
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “Enough!”
Hwang Jiho’s loud shout was apanied by magic which covered the circle.
Then, the heads stopped for a moment.
It had the same effect as in the past.
This time though, Hwang Jiho’s contribution to the chaos wasrge.
In any case, Hwang Jiho got to the point when the room became quiet.
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “You all must know why we’re gathered today.”
Rat n [This Kkeodori received the Best Designer of the Year Award] “Of course.”
Dog n [My Dog Fur is Expensive] “It’s impossible that any leader forgot about the traitor.”
Sheep n [No Nightmare] “…Hm.”
Judging from the Sheep n’s reaction, they seem to have forgotten.
Snake n [Finished Shedding] “Even if they forgot, isn’t it obvious from the empty spot and new recruit today?”
Rooster n [Chicken That Will Fly From Mt. Gyeryong] “There’s a new recruit, so why don’t we introduce him?”
The vacant spot was Uma’s, the head of the Cow n.
The new recruit was attending instead of Jogangryeob, Gullinbursti.
It’s his first attendance so perhaps he wants to show off that he serves a handsome superior being.
Pig n [Serves Northern Europe’s Most Handsome – The Golden Wild Boar] “I am Gullinbursti, the temporary head of the Pig n.”
Monkey n [Strongest in the Universe, Jecheondaesung] “…Temporary, huh.”
Pig n [Serves Northern Europe’s Most Handsome – The Golden Wild Boar] “There are almost no pigs who weren’t caught or participated in the previous incident. There are only three or four who didn’t participate or haven’t been in contact. I’m not officially appointed, so it’s only temporary.”
Gullinbursti exined the situation in a friendly tone.
His nickname wasn’t the best, but he seemed more mature than the other heads.
Horse n [More-Sensitive-Than-Usual Heukma] “Then what about the absent Cow n?”
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “I will exin that one.”
Hwang Jiho answered Heukma.
Tiger n [Tiger-nim] “The Cow n is fighting over the position of the new leader. The Cow n’s spot will remain vacant until that is over.”
